Information Regarding Financial Support Requirements & Certification of Financial Responsibility 2013-2014
You MUST review the following instructions before completing and signing this form. Failure to read the instructions and complete the form correctly will result in delays in the processing of your application and issuance of your visa document.
1. 2. Review the estimated tuition and fees and estimated living costs (including transportation, boarding, personal and books) and the estimated length of the degree program to which you are applying. Complete the certification indicating the amount of support that will be provided from each source for each year of the program. You MUST show immediately available liquid assets for the first year only. (NOTE: Liquid assets include money in a banking account, stocks, bonds, or other investments with cash value. Retirement accounts cannot be used as a source of financial support unless the sponsor can provide evidence that he/she is, in fact, retired and able to access those funds without penalty for early withdrawal. Real estate or other non-liquid asset such as automobiles, jewelry, or other personal property cannot be used as a source of financial support under any circumstances). For the following years beyond year one, you must document the availability of finances as well, but they do not have to be in immediately available liquid assets. Financing for the subsequent years can be demonstrated by providing letters or other documentation verifying ongoing anticipated earnings such as salary or investment income, or other assets that will demonstrate your ability to fund your program for the entire duration of the program. All proof of financial support must be submitted in English. All proof of financial support must be stated in U.S. dollars and clearly state the date that the documentation was written or printed. All proof of financial support must be an original document. Please be aware that evidence of financial support must also be shown to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate when applying for a visa. Therefore, you will need to have two sets of financial support documents—one to submit to the University of Pittsburgh and one for the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. More than one sponsor may be used. More than one sponsor may copy this form for use. Mail the completed form(s) to the address in the upper right corner of this document.
